Morphology
abundant = abound (transparent) = abund + ant
The adjective is formed from the verb 'abound' by adding the adjectival suffix '-ant', so learners who know 'abound' can infer the meaning.
Etymology
Abundant comes from the Latin parts ab- ('away') and unda ('wave'), which together meant 'to overflow'. Think of the common English word abound and a picture of water spilling over, which helps you remember why abundant means 'more than enough' or 'plentiful'.
